January 22, 2025: Bandai Announces Gundam Miniatures Game

A new year always means new games, but it isn't usually this literal. If you missed it, on January 6th Bandai announced a new miniatures game. They haven't revealed a release date, but they have shared a teaser video and promo images that have gotten a lot of people excited.

 

Miniatures fans have been looking at the Gundam model kits that Bandai produces for years, wondering what the company could do if they decided to make minis. Now that we've seen this preview, the most interesting difference between the larger mecha model kits and these miniatures is the size and complexity. The minis will be cast in a single color of plastic and will not be posable. The tradeoff for that simplicity will likely be reduced prices compared to the larger models.

 

The other interesting thing about the Gundam Assemble model line is that they will also tie into the upcoming Gundam Card Game as tokens available with certain products. These game packs with included minis are scheduled for release this summer, so even if the minis game doesn't come out until later in the year, we should be able to get our hands on these little Gundam before then.
